It's his responsibility to blow the toss back. I don't know that there's a right or wrong, as far as whether the R should kill it if the U doesn't. I think the way you handled it was fine. If you can get your whistle up quickly, if not, let it go.

Agreed. Especially in 2-person, this needs to be pre-gamed so the U understands the importance of watching closely. Your responsibilty is to get the jumpers ready, and give an accurate toss. The U's responsibilty is to watch the other players and the toss. So many younger officials just use this time to "ease" into the game, rather than being ready for something like this. Also, did you ever ask your partner if they really did see a tip? It's not showing them up just to ask, say maybe at the next TO. You could just say things looked strange, what did he see? If he did miss it, then say let's get it next time, etc.
